Replications have occurred in many university and industry labs  
during the last 17
years.

None so far as I know have occurred in truck stops.

Read the literature if you're actually curious about the facts of the  
situation (but it
seems you're not...); I have better things to do than argue with  
people who refuse
to read the basic facts regarding the thing they're arguing about!!

It would be possible to frame a cogent argument against the reality  
of CF, but
you are not doing so.
